READ THIS FIRST โ€ผ๏ธ

The package works closely with the photo_manager plugin, and most behaviors are controlled by the plugin. When you have questions about related APIs and behaviors, check photo_manager's API docs for more details.

Most usages are detailed covered by the example. Please walk through the example carefully before you have any questions.

Usage ๐Ÿ“–

Simple usage

final List<AssetEntity>? result = await AssetPicker.pickAssets(context);

Use AssetPickerConfig for more picking behaviors.

final List<AssetEntity>? result = await AssetPicker.pickAssets(
  context,
  pickerConfig: const AssetPickerConfig(),
);

Fields in AssetPickerConfig:

Name Type Description Default
selectedAssets List<AssetEntity>? Selected assets. Prevent duplicate selection. null
maxAssets int Maximum asset that the picker can pick. 9
pageSize int? Number of assets per page. Must be a multiple of gridCount. 80
gridThumbnailSize ThumbnailSize Thumbnail size for the grid's item. ThumbnailSize.square(200)
pathThumbnailSize ThumbnailSize Thumbnail size for the path selector. ThumbnailSize.square(80)
previewThumbnailSize ThumbnailSize? Preview thumbnail size in the viewer. null
requestType RequestType Request type for picker. RequestType.common
specialPickerType SpecialPickerType? Provides the option to integrate a custom picker type. null
keepScrollOffset bool Whether the picker should save the scroll offset between pushes and pops. null
sortPathDelegate SortPathDelegate<AssetPathEntity>? Path entities sort delegate for the picker, sort paths as you want. CommonSortPathDelegate
sortPathsByModifiedDate bool Whether to allow sort delegates to sort paths with FilterOptionGroup.containsPathModified. false
filterOptions FilterOptionGroup? Allow users to customize assets filter options. null
gridCount int Grid count in picker. 4
themeColor Color? Main theme color for the picker. Color(0xff00bc56)
pickerTheme ThemeData? Theme data provider for the picker and the viewer. null
textDelegate AssetPickerTextDelegate? Text delegate for the picker, for customize the texts. AssetPickerTextDelegate()
specialItemPosition SpecialItemPosition Allow users set a special item in the picker with several positions. SpecialItemPosition.none
specialItemBuilder SpecialItemBuilder? The widget builder for the special item. null
loadingIndicatorBuilder IndicatorBuilder? Indicates the loading status for the builder. null
selectPredicate AssetSelectPredicate Predicate whether an asset can be selected or unselected. null
shouldRevertGrid bool? Whether the assets grid should revert. null
limitedPermissionOverlayPredicate LimitedPermissionOverlayPredicate? Predicate whether the limited permission overlay should be displayed. null
pathNameBuilder PathNameBuilder<AssetPathEntity>? Build customized path name. null

Detailed usage

TL;DR, we've put multiple common usage with the packages in the example.

Localizations

When you're picking assets, the package will obtain the Locale? from your BuildContext, and return the corresponding text delegate of the current language. Make sure you have a valid Locale in your widget tree that can be accessed from the BuildContext. Otherwise, the default Chinese delegate will be used.

Embedded text delegates languages are:

  • ็ฎ€ไฝ“ไธญๆ–‡ (default)
  • English
  • ื”ืขื‘ืจื™ืช
  • Deutsche
  • ะ›ะพะบะฐะปะธะทะฐั†ะธั
  • ๆ—ฅๆœฌ่ชž
  • ู…ุฉ ุงู„ุนุฑุจูŠุฉ
  • Dรฉlรฉguรฉ

If you want to use a custom/fixed text delegate, pass it through the AssetPickerConfig.textDelegate.

Using custom delegate

You can use the keepScrollOffset feature only with the pickAssetsWithDelegate method. See the Keep scroll offset pick method in the example for how to implement it.

For more details about custom delegates, head over to example/lib/customs.

Regular picking

You can both found List<PickMethod> pickMethods in example/lib/pages/multi_assets_page.dart and example/lib/pages/single_assets_page.dart, which provide methods in multiple picking and single picking mode. Assets will be stored temporary and displayed at the below of the page.

Multiple assets picking

The maximum assets limit is 9 in the multiple picking page, and you can modify it as you wish.

Some methods can only work with multiple mode, such as "WeChat Moment".

Single asset picking

Only one and maximum to one asset can be picked at once.

Custom pickers

You can try custom pickers with the "Custom" page. We've defined a picker that integrates with Directory and File (completely out of the photo_manager scope), and a picker with multiple tabs switching. You can submit PRs to create your own implementation if you found your implementation might be useful for others. See Contribute custom implementations for more details.

Display selected assets

The AssetImage and AssetEntityImageProvider can display the thumb image of images & videos, and the original data of image. Use it like a common Image and ImageProvider.

/// AssetEntityImage
AssetEntityImage(asset, isOriginal: false);

/// AssetEntityImageProvider
Image(image: AssetEntityImageProvider(asset, isOriginal: false));

Register assets change observe callback

/// Register callback.
AssetPicker.registerObserve();

/// Unregister callback.
AssetPicker.unregisterObserve();

Customize with your own type or UI

AssetPickerBuilderDelegate, AssetPickerViewerBuilderDelegate, AssetPickerProvider and AssetPickerViewerProvider are all exposed and overridable. You can extend them and use your own type with generic type <A: Asset, P: Path>, then implement abstract methods. See the Custom page in the example which has an implementation based on <File, Directory> types.

Frequently asked question โ”

Execution failed for task ':photo_manager:compileDebugKotlin'

See photo_manager#561 for more details.

How can I get path from the AssetEntity to integrate with File object, upload or edit?

You don't need it (might be).

You can always request the File object with entity.file or entity.originFile, and entity.originBytes for Uint8List.

If you still need path after requested the File, get it through file.path.

final File file = await entity.file; // Thumbnails or edited files.
final File originFile = await entity.originFile; // Original files.
final String path = file.path;
final String originPath = originFile.path;

Create AssetEntity from File or Uint8List (rawData)

In order to combine this package with camera shooting or something related, there's a solution about how to create an AssetEntity with File or Uint8List object.

final File file = your_file; // Your `File` object
final String path = file.path;
final AssetEntity fileEntity = await PhotoManager.editor.saveImageWithPath(
  path,
  title: basename(path),
); // Saved in the device then create an AssetEntity

final Uint8List data = your_data; // Your `Uint8List` object
final AssetEntity imageEntity = await PhotoManager.editor.saveImage(
  file.path,
  title: 'title_with_extension.jpg',
); // Saved in the device then create an AssetEntity

Notice: If you don't want to keep the file in your device, use File for operations as much as possible. A deletion operation might call system popups with some OS:

final List<String> result = await PhotoManager.editor.deleteWithIds(
  <String>[entity.id],
);

Glide warning 'Failed to find GeneratedAppGlideModule'

W/Glide   (21133): Failed to find GeneratedAppGlideModule. You should include an annotationProcessor compile dependency on com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler in you application ana a @GlideModule annotated AppGlideModule implementation or LibraryGlideModules will be silently ignored.

Glide needs annotation to keep singleton, prevent conflict between instances and versions, so while the photo manager uses Glide to implement image features, the project which import this should define its own AppGlideModule. See Android section for implementation.
